Yes. All astronomical observations to date suggest that the gravitational constant is literally
a universal constant ... the same everywhere in the universe.

Why does the earth always remains in about the same position in the lunar sky?
The Moon rotates once per orbit, and has the same side of the Moon always facing the Earth. So looking at the Earth from the Moon, it's always in pretty much the same place.Because the Moon rotates at a constant speed but follows an elliptical orbit, there is a little variation; over the course of several months, the Earth would appear to "wobble" a little in the lunar "sky", and would appear to get somewhat smaller and larger as the Moon recedes from the Earth and then gets closer.
Why do we only see one side of the moon during a full moon?
The same side of the moon (for all practical purposes) is facing the earth all the time, not just during full moons. This is because the moon is tidally locked with earth. The moon's orbital period and its rotational period are the same. The more massive hemisphere of the moon is always facing the earth. There is a slight variation called lunation. Lunation happens because the moon's rotational period is constant, while its orbital velocity around the earth is not constant. Because the moon's orbit is elliptical, as are virtually all orbits, the moon is passing over the earth at a variable velocity depending on its distance from the earth. As a result, the rotational movement of the moon seems to be either ahead of the moon's orbital location, or lagging behind it. Lunation is an apparent movement of the moon, and not a real movement. There is also a north-south lunation caused by the changing altitude of the moon relative to the equatorial plane.
The Moon's average density is about the same as the density of which of the Earth's layers?
The moon's average density is about the same as the density of mantle of the Earth.
Do all earth hemispheres see the same side of the moon?
As long as you're on Earth, you will always see the same side of the moon. This is because the moon is tidally locked with the earth, meaning is rotational period is the same as its revolutionary period. This allows us to always see the same side of the moon, no matter where on earth we are.
What is true about the moon's orbit around Earth?
The moon's orbital period is the same as its rotational period, so the same side of the moon always faces the earth.
Is universal gravitation is constant on moon as on earth?
Yes, the universal gravitational constant is believed to be the same across the whole of the universe.
Is iron mass on the moon same as earth?
Mass is a constant everywhere in the universe. The weight on the moon is about one sixth of the weight on the earth, because the mass of the moon is about one sixth of the mass of the earth reducing the force of gravity.
What happens to weight on the moon?
Nothing happens to the weight of an object on the moon. It remains constant, at about 16% of what the same object weighs when it's on the Earth.
If gravity is same for all bodies why not on moon and earth?
The gravitational constant is the same for all bodies.The actual force depends on the masses of the bodies (and the distance between them).Since the mass of the Moon is considerably less than the mass of the Earth, the Moon's surface gravity is lower than the Earth's surface gravity.
What is the value of gravitational constant in the surface of moon?
The gravitational constant "G" is the same everywhere. The force of gravity on the moon, expressed as the acceleration of a falling body is 1.62 metres/sec2. compared with 9.81 m/s2 on the earth.
Will the time period of loaded spring change when taken to moon?
No.Time period of a loaded spring depends on mass and spring constant which are same on Earth aswell as moon.

If an object has a mass of 12.5 grams What is the mass on the moon?
The same as on earth because mass remains constant everywhere if you are thinking about the "weight" then it will be changed .
Are the earth and its moon the same shape?
no the earth is bigger than the moon
What is the distance between earth and heaven?
The same as between the Moon and the Earth. The distance from the clouds to the surface of the Earth is insignificant, compared to the Moon-Earth distance.The same as between the Moon and the Earth.

Why do you way more on Jupiter but your mass is the same?
Because the gravitaional forces on Jupiter are greater than here on Earth, so therefore the force on your body is greater. This increases your weight. Your mass remains the same though. Force(or weight) = mass * acceleration. Acceleration is gravitational constant. On earth it is 9.81 m/s2. Not sure what it is on Jupiter. Also mass depends on body fluid weight.
Would your weight increase on the moon?
No. As long as you continued to eat your astronaut food and do your astronaut exercises, your weight would remain constant on the moon. But it would only be about 16% of your weight on Earth. Your mass would be the same on the moon as it is on Earth, and would also not change while you're there.
